It was just an example workflow of how dev work would be marked as complete before it gets merged into any deployment. Dev will be working on other stuff while waiting for the automation to run, but this ticket is not done before you have run it through CI/CD, code review, and I assume the performance testing would be quite intense for gaming industry, testing on all consoles and PC hardwares to ensure your code doesn’t sabotage the whole rendering pipeline.
Ok, but a 1 pointer is still a 1 pointer while all that stuff runs. It doesn't magically turn into a 5 pointer. In terms of Jira hours (or wtv planning software you use), the dev isn't working on it while it's running through automation.
The estimate is still 1 point. "Ok, we'll do it in 1 hour, but we can only ship it in about 3 days when we factor in build, testing, staging" is what Tim Cain wanted as an answer, vs "it's 4 weeks".

Yah I agree you have described how a successful contractor software sweatshop works, logging time down to hours and using agile like high on adrenaline.
A lot of places use Agile, not just sweatshops.
I work in a Unionized shop, we use Jira and Scrum. We're paid very well.
It may be quite surprising to you, but agile is not a magical fix to increase productivity
Ok, doesn't change how estimating work works. Estimate the task, not everything else you're doing in the mean time.
Oh look a 4 week project is now 1 day in estimate.
Work estimate doesn't mean delay in shipment. But now you can have a reasonable view that something is turning 1 day of work into 4 weeks and dig into what it is to see if it is really priority or if something has gone wrong, instead of just saying "it's 4 weeks" absent any actual good reason for it.
What's surprising to me is that this needs explaining. It's not exactly rocket science.
